desc

(list())
Task description (meta information), downloaded and converted from the JSON API response.

data_id

(integer())

ncol

(integer())
Number of columns, as extracted from the OMLData object.

target_names

(character())
Name of the targets, as extracted from the OpenML task description.

feature_names

(character())
